Libyan PM: Khadaffy killed by crossfire [audio]
2011-10-22

According to PM Jibril, Gadhafi "did not show any resistance" at first. But as "freedom fighters" were taking him into custody, "he came under crossfire from both sides."
Purbo Banglar Communist Party (PBCP Marxist-Leninist) Lal Pataka faction fugitive Moammar "The Rat" Khadaffy was killed in a crossfire between Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) National Transition Council (NTC) and his cohorts at Ramarama Thandarpara area in Bagmara upazila of Sirte early Thursday.

As the NTC fighters challenged his group at a mango orchard at Sirte, they shot fire on the NTC personnel triggering the gunfight.
Gadhafi was not executed by the fighters who captured him, Jibril told Robert.
After the gunfight the cohorts of Khadaffy managed to flee away, while the RAB NTC members assisted by locals discovered Khadaffy lying on the ground with fatal wounds. As he was rushed to local hospital, the doctors declared him dead.
Some of what Jibril said does not quite line up with the report from freelance journalist Marine Olivesi, who has seen Gadhafi's body and told NPR earlier that it appeared he had been shot several times in the chest.
RAB NTC members recovered a 7.65mm pistol, a shutter gun, four rounds of bullet, the keys to a 1959 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham, and some PBCP leaflets from the spot.

I want to lie, shipwrecked and comatose, sipping fresh mango juice...
